Era Evolution

"Hehehe," facing the tense atmosphere that was about to explode, Herpo's expression became very strange. He slowly said, "Don't get angry easily. Let me finish what I have to say."

Voldemort glared at Barbarossa, first letting out a cold snort before saying in a chilling tone, "You speak."

"The idea of Pure-blood Supremacy is outdated. In today's magical world, wizards who can unleash even one-tenth of their bloodline power are extremely rare. Wizarding magic and social systems have become more widespread and convenient. So-called Pure-blood families are just trying to accumulate wealth and power by monopolizing magical knowledge based on their ancient historical heritage..." Herpo said.

"So what?" Voldemort said coldly, "Magic is only for the most noble—to eradicate the lowly from the social system and rebuild an order under my rule. Only such an achievement is worthy of my name, Voldemort!"

"Hmph," Herpo said disdainfully, "The social structure you envision is one where a minority rules the majority, standing in opposition to the majority. You don't have a set of rules to govern your so-called new society; you just constantly rely on force to cause destruction and create terror. You can kill those who disobey you, but even if you kill one, more will appear. Can you kill them all?"

"This..." Voldemort fell silent for a moment, then said stiffly, "I don't believe it. I'm immortal. Once Dumbledore is dead, who will dare to oppose me? Those old and weak soldiers in the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Of course there will be. As times change, new talents emerge in droves, which is an unchanging law of reality. One day, a new outstanding figure will appear in the Wizarding World who dares to challenge your authority—I heard that not long ago, you were locked in a fierce battle with a 15-year-old boy, weren't you?" Herpo chuckled softly.

"I—" Voldemort smirked, a rare complex expression appearing in his eyes, and said, "I was only recently resurrected and misjudged his strength. He won't be so relaxed next time we meet."

"As for Ms. Morgan, your idea is also unrealistic—" Herpo's tone towards Morgan was noticeably more polite. After all, although Voldemort was incredibly powerful, he was all alone, while Morgan's Shadow of the Magic Dragon still retained considerable fighting strength, which was something he needed to rely on in his future plans.

"Herpo, you speak, I'm listening," Morgan said earnestly.

"What you've been longing for is actually the Island of Avalon, isn't it? This island was sealed away by Merlin's magic under King Arthur's design. When we discussed cooperation before, I already mentioned to you that I had clues about the key..." Herpo said slowly.

"Where's the key?" Morgan asked anxiously.

"Your problem isn't simply about finding the key to break the seal," Herpo said, shaking his head. "Listen to me, the ancient master-apprentice system in the Wizarding World is outdated. Since the founding of Hogwarts, previously cherished magical knowledge has become widespread, leading to a long period of astonishing prosperity in the wizarding world—an irreversible trend. Trying to resist it with individual strength is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—"

Herpo paused for a moment before saying gravely, "Your idea of rebuilding the Avalon School is impossible for modern society to accept, almost impossible. And no student would abandon the comprehensive teaching of Hogwarts to learn those limited secret knowledge in your school."

What Herpo said makes perfect sense.

Times have changed.

While the magical system of the wizarding world may have stagnated, magical society has gradually modernized. Basic education ensures that wizards have basic magical knowledge, and in-depth internships after graduation give wizards professional skills. As a result, division of labor has emerged among wizards, making life more convenient and efficient. This has even led to the creation of various government departments with clearly defined functions to manage the entire society.

Voldemort and Morgan were not stupid; they simply didn't think in that direction and instead wishfully wanted to achieve their ideals through force.

"So, what are your thoughts?" Morgan didn't choose to argue with Herpo; she had her reasons for wanting to revive the Avalon School, and she was willing to try, no matter how difficult it might be.

Herpo shook his head. "Before revealing my plan, I want to confirm the combat strength we possess."

Morgan stated simply and directly, "The Shadow of the Magic Dragon still has over 30 people. Give me a year, and I can train them all into Dark Soulers, whose combat strength can rival that of the top elite Auror."

Barbarossa continued, "I have secretly transferred all the Flying Dutchman to the North Sea, ready to land in Great Britain at any time. In addition, the pirate lord of Singapore, Ge Lang, will also be bringing troops to assist. I think there will be no fewer than 100 people in total, of whom at least 40 are at the Auror level."

"Well done. Ge Lang is a talented individual, one of the best among the elite Auror. If he makes a significant contribution this time, he should be generously rewarded," said Herpo.

"Yes, I understand," Barbarossa replied respectfully.

Then, Jafar continued, "Cobra seems to be under the watchful eyes of the Ministry of Magic in various countries. We successfully captured several spies from international bounty hunter organizations, but also suffered considerable losses. However, despite this, we ultimately managed to shake off their surveillance and pursuit. Six core members of the organization will infiltrate Great Britain within a few days, totaling about 40 people, each possessing Auror- level combat strength."

"Jafar, did you bring the Magic Lamp with you?" Herpo asked in a deep voice.

"As you instructed, I've brought the Magic Lamp with me this time. It's been over forty years since it was last used, and I estimate it's enough to nurture at least ten Genie."

A flawless version after checking every single one!

Genie are a type of Magical Creatures unique to the Middle East. They are sensitive and changeable in nature, and can easily become berserk when provoked. They contain a large amount of magical energy and are good at materializing magic to attack.

There are many types of Genie. For example, the River Genie, which was the mascot of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup in Ivory Coast and appeared in the sequel to the original story, contains water energy and can throw water balls into the air to damage enemies.

"Very good. With the Shadow of the Magic Dragon, the Pirate King Family, and the Cobra's power as our backing, we no longer need to fear the Ministry of Magic," Herpo said. "However, we cannot let our guard down. The International Confederation of Wizards has already arrived in Great Britain, and moreover, Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix is not to be trifled with."

The Great Britain Ministry of Magic has about 30 Auror, 70 Hit Wizard, and over 100 Scouts, while Walpurgis has now assembled 170 men, Ministry of Magic no longer holds a clear advantage in terms of power.
